DIY Cork Sailboats

Make these super easy DIY cork sailboats to add to your summer beach decor. I used red, white, and blue and added them to my DIY Patriotic Basket that I made for the 4th of July.

This is a fun craft and great for those who love the beach as much as I do. I used cotton fabric and red and blue bakers twine I had in my craft bin. The blue ribbon came from the dollar store.

Feel free to add your own touches and nautical decoration like buttons, flags, or even paint the cork base.

Supplies You’ll Need

• 7 corks
• String or bakers twine
• Fabric for the sail
• 2 sticks for the sail (I used a tree branch roughly 8″ long)
• Scissors
• A ruler or straight edge
• Hot glue gun
• Ribbon or decorations (optional)

STEP 4: Cut the fabric for the left and right side of the sail and set aside.

STEP 5: Hot glue the two sticks that will support the sail the wrap with string or twine for extra support.

STEP 6: Finish your diy cork sailboat by hot gluing the fabric sails to the ends of each stick. Decorate with string or ribbon. Last hot glue the sail to the cork base.
